Noun

rivalry ‎(plural rivalries)

1. The relationship between two or more rivals who regularly compete with each other. The term usually applies to two rivals.

2. In economics, rivalry is a characteristic of a good. Rivalrous goods are those which can be consumed by only one person at the same time -- for example, a candy bar or a suit; a non-rivalrous good may be provided to more consumers at a very low marginal cost for each additional consumer.
